As well as being extremely creative, artistic, and a very refined stylista, Emily is extremely kind, calm and above all, taught me about unconditional love and generosity. Looking up to my older sister all my life, I have learned endless life lessons and even more creative arts techniques. I am constantly inspired by her eye for design as well as how well she balances it all. Recently becoming a mother in April 2015, I knew Emily was extremely prepared as she had helped raise her 4 younger siblings- me included. Her love has expanded (even though I didn't know it was possible) over the years and Emily is a woman that I will always look up to, learn from and feel encouraged by. She is one BAM and I love her even more for it!
